"After having children my body felt weak and I was getting run down a lot. Ashtanga yoga has made a big difference helping me find strength, flexibility and to detox my body. Yoga has also given me a sense of awareness and calmness of my mind and body."

"My Name is Diana. I am a regular student since 2010 when a friend of mine introduced me to the Yoga Room. I have just given birth to my 2nd daughter and wanted to find a gentle way to get back into shape as well as finding a way to deal better with those sleep deprived days. Throughout the last 2 years I have learnt a lot from all of the teachers of the Yoga Room. I became more aware of my body, my posture and my breathing. The regular practice made me not only physically stronger but mentally as well. I am calmer and more balanced even when my girls give everything to drive me mad. It’s sometimes hard to get up in the morning for Mysore but so rewarding in the end. Thanks to the Yoga Room and their amazing teachers!"

Diana Woelfle

"When I started yoga, I was a complete novice but I
needed a lift physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Life was hectic
with family and work but I took my first beginner class of Ashtunga (at
the yoga room) and found a new lease on life. My sciatica pain which was left
from my previous pregnancy stretched out and away in just a few classes. I felt
an inner balance which reflected back into day to day life, it's not only great
physical exercise, it’s a feeling of holistic health. I couldn't wish for more
from teachers Karen and Sean at "the yoga room". Their personal
approach, knowledge, wisdom and support as you develop on your journey is
inspiring. To them I wish to say thank you and to anyone thinking of trying
yoga, just come on down to one class and feel for yourself."

"The Ashtanga practise and The Yoga Room have enhanced my life in so many ways. Coming to the studio as a complete beginner with chronic neck problems and very poor posture, teachers have guided and assisted my practise so that I now have very little pain and am stronger and straighter. Finding a new interest to love at 39 was an unexpected surprise, and am still so motivated by Yoga three years on. As an open-water swimmer my race times have also improved and I am noticeably longer and leaner. At times an anxious person I am always calmer and clearer after class. I highly recommend The Yoga Room, it has uplifted my life and I am so thankful for all that it has given me."

Natalie Cootes

"As a busy mother of 3 children who juggles work, study and family life I find that yoga gives me clarity and perspective when life gets overwhelming. The Yoga Room has introduced me to the most athletic form of yoga: Ashthanga yoga. Ashthanga yoga has improved my upper body strength, core strength, flexibility and reduced anxiety levels. The outstanding team of yoga instructors at The Yoga Room offer regular classes 7 days a week, meaning that attending yoga class is easily accessible and enjoyable. Dedicated owners/ instructors Sean and Karen and their team all show amazing warmth, professionalism, clear instruction and superior expertise in yoga. Evidence of this is their ever growing ‘yoga community’ which has quickly evolved. I highly recommend The Yoga Room, Mornington."

Bianca Thomas

"Yoga is a way of life for me. All yoga unites mind & body. Ashtanga yoga allows for a meditative breathing practice with the synchronisation of breath with movement. It also allows me to further live out my love for physical & mental challenge - seeing what the body & the mind are capable of achieving. Yoga makes me feel alive & keeps me sane! Yoga at The Yoga Room is a treat! Both Sean & Karen openly share their wisdom, knowledge & journey with all students. The yoga community here is happening. All students are kind, humorous and friendly. The atmosphere is light-hearted and down-to-earth. I highly recommend The Yoga Room for your yoga journey!"

Bettina Pfannkuch

"Yoga makes me feel calm, centred, grounded, healthy and strong. The Yoga Room has given me the opportunity to take my practice deeper, in both asana and pranayama. I learn something every time I practice. Since participating in the spring cleanse, I've changed what I eat and when, I feel leaner yet stronger! Being part of The Yoga Room community has had a very positive impact on my life. The staff are so warm and knowledgeable, no matter what level or stage you're at with your yoga you feel welcome and valued. I highly recommended The Yoga Room."

Tara Dawborn

"Sean & Karen have an insight that is difficult to
verbalise – they adjust anatomically for the external body and yet somehow,
they can adjust internally to see what is going on inside – this is a gift not
many yoga teachers can offer. We are
very blessed to have them on the Mornington Peninsula, as prior to them opening
their shala, I was travelling to Melbourne or referring to old notes at home to
practise. Also, they have created a
'like-minded hub' of yogis, some of which have become good friends, and that is
a gift I was not expecting at all.
Thanks, Sean & Karen, for coming and opening here"

Sophie Whitehouse

"To me yoga is that sacred time out from the merry go round of life. Yoga calms and slows my mind, restoring a wonderful peace and stillness in my head as I flow through the postures. I love that every time I get on the mat it is a new day, the yoga is the same but my body's response is always different. Yoga has created in me an awareness of listening to my body, having no expectations. Yoga irons out the wrinkles in my muscles. I love the feeling of stretching, twisting and breathing, then all of a sudden I am calm focused and flowing. Yoga is everything my body needs to function, it encompasses me as a whole, renewing and refreshing my mind and my body."

Jacinta Childs

"Having undergone knee surgery last year Andy was looking to a return to exercise so we signed up, as a husband and wife team, to our first Ashtanga basics class.

6 months later and we have completed a 28 day intensive course, the Sri O.P. Tiwari Pranayama workshop and, unbelievably, we are now happily getting out of bed at 5am to do our breathing exercises before the 6am Mysore class.

Thanks to Sean’s support we are both physically and emotionally healthier, Andy’s knees have significantly improved and we’ve even lost 10kgs between us!

We’d especially like to thank all the staff at the Yoga Room for their warm welcome. It’s always a pleasure to practise in such a relaxed and friendly environment and we plan to be there for many more sessions in the future."

Nick & Andy Buckingham

"I first looked into yoga because I thought was the stiffest human alive. I was severely weak in the left hand side of my body and was making everyday life borderline impossible. I had a friend that introduced me to it, and since then I never looked back. I started going to yoga to improve my body with strength and flexibility, but what I found was so much more enriching. Yes my body is improving every day, but the balance and spirituality of yoga is becoming present in almost everything I do, on a day to day basis. For me, my practice makes the highs not so high and the lows not so low. I feel blessed to have yoga in my life, and the yoga room has become a place of peace for me."
